TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

Dang, didn't think you were that old.

[empyrean_mirror]

There is literally no way I can take that statement that isn't insulting, Ranma.

[catsgothistongue]

If it makes you feel any better, I've met older fossils than you. Unless you're secretly over 300.

[empyrean_mirror]

I am definitely not that

but 30 isn't even halfway through a typical human life expectancy, it's really not that old.

[catsgothistongue]

Fair point, you don't have any grey hair yet. [Though dealing with Ranma's probably going to change that...] It's three then, isn't it?

[empyrean_mirror]

to my eternal regret, that one is true.

[he doesn't like alhaitham's gap moe working on him either, ranma.]

[catsgothistongue]

Oh.

[Damn it, he's having it rough today.]

Guess I shouldn't be so surprised by the first one, rereading it. Whatever you're wearing or got going on for you should be practical and not overly ridiculous.

[empyrean_mirror]

I just don't think aesthetics and practicality can't be combined. They almost always can be.

[catsgothistongue]

Not if you know how to make it work. I've worn ridiculous stuff before and still kicked ass in them.

[empyrean_mirror]

Ass-kicking is not usually in my job description so I may have a little more leeway in that regard.

[catsgothistongue]

If that's what gives you confidence to wear whatever it is you have on, go for it. Long as you're not wearing something ridiculous like a mailbox.

[empyrean_mirror]

ranma

what kind of people have you met that wearing a mailbox is even on the list of possibilities?

[catsgothistongue]

The kind of people that was obsessed with a girl and followed her around trying to get her to love him. Though honestly, he was the least annoying of those kinds of people.

[empyrean_mirror]

that's concerning.

that's deeply concerning, actually.

[catsgothistongue]

Relax, I knocked some sense into him and he hadn't bothered Ucchan since.

[empyrean_mirror]

I mean, that's good news, but where were any adults in this situation?

[catsgothistongue]

What do you mean?

[empyrean_mirror]

I mean where I'm from that kind of thing would usually merit the intervention of the law, Ranma?

[catsgothistongue]

Maybe, but it wasn't that bad to go to that extreme. It was just a guy being a pervert, there's like hundred times him in my school and in town.

[empyrean_mirror]

that.

that is worse.

[catsgothistongue]

It's annoying, but hey, we handle it pretty well.

[empyrean_mirror]

it shouldn't be on any of you to have to handle it at all?

[catsgothistongue]

Kaveh, chill out. We're tough, and we know what we're doing. Most of us are martial artists after all!

[empyrean_mirror]

it's not about whether or not you know what you're doing, it's--

have you ever had any point in your life you didn't have to fight?

[catsgothistongue]

Sometimes I get to relax, especially getting to Nerima. Read books, sleep, school, all that stuff. But most of the time, it's fighting.
